You've probably burned either the motherboard or the RAM. In the latter case changing the ram module might help.
However the rule of a thumb is call DELL.

IS your problem resloved, I too have same problem with Inspiron 6000, I didnot take out RAM, when I press power on button all LEDs come up for 3 seconds and laptop shuts down. Display is blank. Pls reply ASAP.

Thanks in Advance.
